Isn't that one of the big selling points of this game?

I hear Wal-Mart sells humor detectors for the strictly literal; you should hop in the ol' pickup and go grab one or two.

Serenity's had this service for almost a decade.
Changing name costs about 15 bucks equivalent to two PLEX on Serenity.

If you do not like your name, you should not have picked it.

Re character bazaar, don't like the name? don't buy it.

This is not a signature.

Dear ccp

I dun goofed. I (tick all that apply)
1. Lost my ship
2. Gave somebody permissions I shouldn't have
3. Hauled a plex
4. Made a stupid character name
5. Invested all my SP into mining
6. Gave some kind chap in jita 3b because he promised I'd get 6b back
7. Trusted one of nitshe's alts
8. Was making silly faces when the solar winds changed, and am now stuck.
9. Set my safety to fun, when it should have been set to boring, and I'm now down 1 expensive ship and some sec status
10. Hit jump instead of bridge
11. Trusted somebody who mailed me explaining that he was a space-prince who needed my help in helping him secure his riches from jove-space, after which he would share them with me for helping him.

Given that this game's philosophy is all about my actions not having consequences, please fix.



Sorry, but, I LOL'd at this...
brilliant, absolutely brilliant!!!!

I picked the second name that EVE gave me, thinking it was a made up sci-fi name. Now I realise it is a really obscure Bollywood second name that sounds like "****".

Thanks CCP for forcing me to stay with your trap names.

Name changes are a fundemental feature for any sucessful MMO.

"Forcing" you? Nobody forced you to do anything. You should be forced to watch a Bollywood marathon so you learn the definition of that word. I know a guy who named his dog "Dog", and his cat "Cat". He was about to name his hamster "Hamster", but Cat ate it.

There just isn't anything that can be said!

I haven't though about this for a long time, but many (35-ish) years ago, we had a dog named D O G pronounced "dee oh gee"

LOL, Thanks for the memory...

Before permanent skin system was deployed Serenity's already sold manually permanent skin blueprints which could be replenished by submitting a petition.

Players on Serenity will be given unallocated skill points if the maintenance exceeds the time announcement says.

And the second most significant disadvantage and difference is that the limitation of skill queue still exists.

Serenity is the paradise of RMT and macros. Every alliance has a lot of teams mining and ratting with macros. And they seldom get banned
It's notorious.

Just looked at Serenity's online pop, 7.500ish compared to 26.400ish TQ, quite backwater.
Players over there will NOT play a game if they cant RMT, bot and stuff alike, CCP has to let them get away with it and give them a few more concessions or lose. Cultural thing, i guess. They would go back to WoW gold farming in a blink.

Oh, wait, they're probably all sleeping right now. So that's 7500 bots?

Make it cost one PLEX and keep an Alias History just like Employment History.

People been asking for ages:

Allow users to change their name (maybe put a fee on it, certainly put a limitation on how often).
Killrights, history, etc, MUST be retained.
Maybe add something like 'previously X character' to help people recognize that person (or help the person prove it is him).

Oh and disable watchlisting... insanely OP mechanic...

Been around since the beginning.

I'm pretty sure that CCP only allows name changes in extreme cases of player harassment.

But I'm surprised they haven't offered it in exchange for PLEX at this point. I would like to see corp history removal/management in exchange for PLEX... Twisted

as a new player to the game I see one instance where name changes should be mandatory, char sales .
If you cannot act like you are the original owner then why are you saddled with the name and the reputation? kill rights for and history should be wiped clean because you didn't earn them and that seems to be the biggest badge of pride for folks. kill rights against should be kept to keep people from exploiting . just my 2 isk.
